Tactility: the experience of encountering a photobook is embodied-it requires touch to maneuver. Pacing: the narrative visual sequence of the book unfolds over time, at a pace determined by the viewer. Intimacy: the photobook creates an individual experience that connects photographer and audience in a unique way. For me, photobooks are a reminder and a memory, symbolic, artistic and at the same time real.Д®V: For me, the four primary merits that make the photobook such a strong vessel for exploring photographic work-and for facilitating a unique connection between photographer and audience-are intimacy, pacing, tactility, and depth & scale. I think they are a perfect form of photography presentation in a tactile form. Something much more than just printing photos on paper and stitching them in the form of a book.

Olga Karlovac: As a self-publisher and someone who is a big fan of photobooks, and books in general, I perceive them as works of art. As an artist, beginning to experiment with the book form sparked a burgeoning and lifelong interest in making work that addresses our need for reading experiences that are embodied, tangible, and encompassing as a counterpoint to cultural circumstances that increasingly favor the digital over the material. In my training as a photographer, I was always more interested in working in a series-and in sequencing and playing photographs off of one another that the photobook facilitates-than in the stand-alone image capturing one decisive moment. Elysa Voshell: I came to the book arts by way of photography and writing, finding first in the photobook and then in the book arts more expansively a magical place where I could bring together my interests in photographic-based imagery and text instead of pursuing these media along two parallel tracks.
